After her rebirth

Conrad was stunned.

Katniss smiled sweetly, "With you here, we won't have trouble handling a few people, right?"

She was curious to see what Elodie and the others were up to.

Would they still act all high and mighty, or would they lower their proud heads for Simon?

Conrad felt a surge of pride; Katniss actually trusted him so much!

When the two were brought into the ward by Conrad, Katniss was sitting at the table inside, enjoying her meal.

Hearing their footsteps, she didn't even bother to look up.

It was Elodie who, seeing Katniss's posture, felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and a wave of anger surged in her heart, "Katniss, what is your heart made of? You're fine, but you sent your fourth brother Simon in? His leg is broken now, and if it doesn't heal properly, he'll be crippled."

Katniss frowned and stopped what she was doing, "So you're here to talk nonsense. Conrad, throw them out."

If you're asking for help, you should have the right attitude.

Not this high and mighty demeanor.

"Katniss, what do you want?" Elodie was anxious.

If Katniss didn't want to help her, Simon was really done for!

Katniss waved her hand at Conrad, then took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, smiling at them, "Did you get the point wrong? You insisted on coming in, I didn't invite you. If you still can't learn how to talk, then I don't think we have anything to discuss."

Elodie was so angry that her chest heaved.

She really couldn't bring herself to lower her pride and speak softly to Katniss.

Clara quickly tried to smooth things over, "Katniss, can you let Simon go? He's really miserable, his leg is broken. You know, if he goes to jail, he might have lasting effects. We're all family, can't we talk things out?"

"Yeah." Katniss followed Clara's words, "Did Simon talk to me nicely? What did he do? Besides, he committed a crime, it's not up to me to decide whether he goes free or not."

These people are really presumptuous.

Clara looked guilty, "Sorry, Simon was impulsive. We promise, once he's out, he'll

behave. He won't bother you anymore. And if you write a letter of forgiveness, he'll be fine soon."

"You're asking me?"

"Yes, we're asking you."

Katniss found it somewhat amusing, "Just saying it?"

Clara bit her lip, then said, "What do you want us to do?"

Katniss thought for a moment, then smiled, "Slap yourself a few times first."

"What?"

Katniss was intrigued, "Don't understand?"

Clara looked at Elodie with a face full of grievance, and Elodie immediately said, "What do you mean? Katniss, when did you become so vicious!?"

Katniss shook her head, disapprovingly, "See, I knew you weren't sincerely apologizing.

If that's the case, there's no need to talk, leave and don't disturb my rest."

Clara bit her lip, "I, I'll slap myself."

She raised her arm and lightly slapped her face, then looked at Katniss.

Katniss sneered, "Are you scratching an itch?"

She then looked at Elodie, "You do it. If it's not hard enough, forget it."

Clara, with a troubled expression, immediately said, "I'll do it myself."

If Elodie did it, she might not know her own strength, and Clara would suffer.

But even if she did it herself, she was making a big sacrifice for Simon.

Though it looked harder than before, it still didn't satisfy Katniss's anger.

"Compared to the slap Simon gave Juniper, this is nothing."

Clara was unhappy, "What do you mean? I slapped myself, are you going to help or not?"

"No." Katniss quickly gave her answer.

Elodie was so angry she wanted to fight Katniss, but with Conrad standing close by, she could only accuse, "Are you playing with us?"

Katniss shrugged, "Shouldn't you have the right attitude when asking for help? Neither you nor Clara are sincere. Do you think a couple of light slaps can make up for Simon's mistake?"

Did they really think they had any weight with her, Katniss?

Clara's eyes filled with tears, "You're playing with us."

Katniss didn't care to admit, "Your brain finally worked for a moment."

It took them long enough to realize.

Elodie looked at Katniss in disbelief, "You, you dare..."

Katniss waved her hand and then instructed Conrad, "Please see them out, I need to rest."

After she finished speaking, Conrad's eyes widened, staring at the two, making them leave the ward cursing.

Clara was filled with hatred, she had wanted to show Elodie that she had tried her best. But she didn't expect this outcome.

She had known it.

Katniss wouldn't agree so easily.

But Katniss was in a good mood.

She didn't expect Clara to have such a day.

However, she didn't know what Clara was up to, clearly married to Desmond, yet still trying to please the Manners family.

If Clara had a sudden change of heart and genuinely wanted to help Simon, Katniss wouldn't believe it for a second.

In the late afternoon, Katniss was sitting by the bed watching the sunset. Conrad suddenly walked in, "Mrs. Hamilton, someone from the Manners family is here again."

"Don't see them, tell them to get lost." They were disturbing her sunset watching. "It's that guy, Nathan." Conrad scratched his head.

He didn't seem to bother Katniss much.

For such a person, he couldn't be harsh, so he reported it.

Hearing the name, Katniss was stunned but remained expressionless.

She wanted to refuse, but then thought, she was bored while recovering anyway. Since

the Manners family was willing to keep coming to be scolded, she was happy to watch

the show.

Nathan looked weaker than before, walking very slowly.

He didn't have anyone to take care of him.

Katniss raised an eyebrow, taking the initiative, "If you're here to plead, don't bother. Clara and the others have been here, you know the result, right? The Manners family is all the same to me."

Nathan nodded, he really couldn't stand for long, and asked, "Can I sit and talk?" Katniss frowned.

Sit if you want, why use that tone, and look so pitiful.

Spending too much time with Clara, he had learned the art of appearing weak.

Katniss rolled her eyes, "Whatever."

She wanted to see what Nathan was up to.

After Nathan sat down, he coughed a few times, then asked, "How's your injury?"

"Pretty good."

"I heard you got hit with a shovel, was it serious?"

"Not too bad." Katniss answered while pondering Nathan's intention, "It missed, I was lucky."

Otherwise, that shovel would have ruined half her shoulder.

Hearing this, Nathan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good, now you

have someone to protect and care for you, I'm glad."

Katniss frowned, losing patience, and said coldly, "Stop beating around the bush, what do you want? If it's to plead, then leave. I don't want to waste words."
